Siam tulip

Siam tulips (Curcuma alismatifolia 'Pink') prefer slightly moist soil, but don't like to be overwatered. Water your Siam tulip weekly (1-2 times per week) with 2-3 liters of water, enough to moisten the soil while allowing proper drainage. You may need to water a bit more often during hot and dry weather. To check the soil moisture, use your finger to check 1-2 inches deep and if the soil feels dry then it is time to water. Allow the soil to dry a bit in between waterings to prevent root rot or other moisture-related issues.

The Siam Tulip needs moderate amounts of sunlight to grow, and does best in indirect sunlight. It does not do well in full, direct sunlight during the hottest part of the day. The ideal times that the Siam Tulip should get sunlight is either during the morning, when the sun is still low in the sky, or during the afternoon, when the sun has already passed its peak. The plant should get 6-8 hours of sun each day, with a few hours of indirect sunlight in order to keep it healthy.

For Siam tulips, it's best to begin pruning around the end of winter when the main stem of the plant is actively growing. You should remove any old, woody stems to promote new growth. To bring out the red and yellow highlights of Siam tulips, you can selectively thin any large or dense clusters of foliage. In general, it's best to aim for removing up to 25-50% of foliage. Pruning should be done with sharp, clean pruning tools, and the cut should be made just above a bud, leaf joint, or branch.
